Here's how to sign up:
Sign ups start now and will be open until midnight September 5, 2013.(That's Eastern Time, see our clocks in the right sidebar)
Leave a comment on this post just to say Yes! I'm interested!

Then, send your snail mail address to IAalteredpostcardswap@gmail.com(Sending your info to this email address instead of posting in the comment section will ensure that spammers will NOT see your address. And, we at IA will NEVER, EVER use your address for anything but this postcard swap.)

Start creating 3 altered postcards that you'd love to mail to someone special.
They must start with an actual postcard

(can be a vintage card or a more recent one),
but how you alter each card is up to you.
You may want to keep in mind the thickness/weight

of any embellishments you add since you will be
mailing them, so design accordingly.

Remember! We are a global community so you may besending a postcard or two overseas.

Soon after September 5, you will receive 3
names and addresses of the recipients of your postcards.
The addresses will be emailed to you at the address you emailed us from.Mail your 3 altered postcards by September 21, 2013.

Please grab our Altered Swap button in the right sidebar
(whether you participate or not) and display in your sidebar!
We'd be so grateful if you would help spread the word!

Hi everyone! Thank you all for joining the swap! I think this will be so much fun and we at IA are looking forward to getting started!

We have snail mail addresses from almost everyone.

Evil Edna, we haven't received yours. Since we haven't found an email address for you either, the only thing we could try was leaving a comment on your blog as well as leaving a comment here in case you are following the comments. We'd hate to lose out on your creativity and talent! Please get in touch with your address if you are still interested!

Again, thanks so much everyone...we'll be in touch very soon with your recipients :)
